Willie Tatis

This week we take a look at the Bombers young lefty Willie Tatis. Willie was a 2003 International free agent. But joined the Bombers in 2004 in a trade from Honolulu Cella’ Dwella’s. He was acquired for ss Geraldo Manzanillo.

Willie made his major league debut at 21 years old. The now 23 year old took over 2nd place on the Bombers all time wins list early this year. Willie holds a major league record of 31-16. With a career high of 15 wins last year, and made his first all star game which he and the Bombers hope is the first of many.

Willie often gets lost in the shuffle of the Bombers young pitchers. At 23 he seems like he has pitched for the Bombers a lot longer then he has. Willie has said he wonders how he fits into the Bombers long term plans.
